Introduction to Bromegrass and Rescuegrass Forage Varieties
Mountain brome is a bunch-type perennial forage grass with tall plants, many leaves and high yields, but it has a short lifespan (usually useful for 2-3 years). It is suited to warm, humid regions, has poor cold and heat tolerance, and is not drought tolerant. Rescuegrass is an annual or short-lived perennial forage grass with many leaves in a leafy clump, and plant height can reach 0.8-1.2 m. It has relatively good heat tolerance but is not frost tolerant, and it adapts to warm, humid subtropical winters. Its yield is similar to that of mountain brome, and it can be sown in mixtures with clover, ryegrass
